London\u201420 September 2016\u2014 The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo revealed new information for the latest games in the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon, coming to Europe on 23 November and available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.<\/p>\n
Newly revealed Pok\u00e9mon include:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Passimian \nType: Fighting \nThe Teamwork Pok\u00e9mon Passimian attack by throwing Berries at their foes. They tend to live in troops of 20\u201330 Passimian, who all follow one leader. These tribes work in teams to train and improve their skills. This Pok\u00e9mon has the Ability Receiver, an Ability which no previous Pok\u00e9mon has had. With the Receiver Ability, Passimian can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle. Passimian only appear in Pok\u00e9mon Sun.<\/p>\n
Oranguru \nType: Normal\/Psychic \nThe Sage Pok\u00e9mon Oranguru live in the solitary deeps of the Alolan forests and, in fact, were once known as \u2018the people of the forests\u2019. Oranguru hold a fan-like object made of leaves and are known to be kind to other Pok\u00e9mon in the forest, often giving injured Pok\u00e9mon medicine or hungry Pok\u00e9mon food. This Pok\u00e9mon can exclusively learn the new move Instruct, a move which can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately. Oranguru only appear in Pok\u00e9mon Moon.<\/p>\n
The previously revealed Puppy Pok\u00e9mon Rockruff can evolve into a different form depending on whether you are playing Pok\u00e9mon Sun or Pok\u00e9mon Moon.<\/p>\n
Lycanroc (Midday Form) \nType: Rock \nIn the world of Pok\u00e9mon Sun, Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, and Solgaleo\u2019s influence causes this Pok\u00e9mon to evolve into Lycanroc\u2019s Midday Form. This form is known for speedy movement which can confound its opponents. A very loyal Pok\u00e9mon, Lycanroc Midday Form dodges opponents\u2019 strikes whilst attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane. Lycanroc Midday Form can learn Accelerock, a new move unique to the Pok\u00e9mon, which is guaranteed to strike first, damaging opponents by slamming into them very quickly.<\/p>\n
Lycanroc (Midnight Form) \nType: Rock \nIn the world of Pok\u00e9mon Moon, Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, and Lunala\u2019s influence causes this Pok\u00e9mon to evolve into Lycanroc\u2019s Midnight Form. This Pok\u00e9mon will sacrifice its own safety to strike down its foes. The stronger an opponent is, the more excited Lycanroc Midnight Form becomes, its eyes glowing with the thrill of battle. This Pok\u00e9mon feels a deep trust towards a Trainer who can draw forth its true power.<\/p>\n
Two new Pok\u00e9mon-specific Z-moves were also announced for some fan-favourite Pok\u00e9mon:<\/p>\n
Pikachu \nExclusive Z-Move name: Catastropika \nPikachu\u2019s exclusive Z-Move, Catastropika, is a super-powered attack move where Pikachu borrows its Trainer\u2019s strength, wraps itself in extra-high-voltage electric power, and charges into its opponents. This is Pikachu\u2019s most powerful attack.<\/p>\n
Eevee \nExclusive Z-Move name: Extreme Evoboost \nEevee\u2019s exclusive Z-Move, Extreme Evoboost, gathers together Sylveon, Jolteon and more \u2013 all of the eight Pok\u00e9mon that Eevee can evolve into \u2013 and grants their powers to Eevee. This highly powerful move raises Eevee\u2019s Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed by 2.<\/p>\n
The popular character-customisation feature makes a return in Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon. Personalise your character\u2019s clothing, hairstyle and eye colour as you venture through the Alola region. Now, you can even dye your fashions to change their colour and make sure you pull off your favourite look whilst out adventuring.<\/p>\n
The Pok\u00e9mon Refresh feature lets you care for your Pok\u00e9mon. After a battle, Pok\u00e9mon can sometimes end up rumpled and dirty. Pok\u00e9mon Refresh lets you clean them up, care for them, feed them Pok\u00e9 Beans and even cure status conditions like poisoning and paralysis that were inflicted on them in battle. Pok\u00e9mon that have been looked after in Pok\u00e9mon Refresh can grow very affectionate and will battle to the utmost for you. This means that sometimes they may avoid attacks from opposing Pok\u00e9mon or even hold out when they\u2019re on the verge of fainting. Take good care of all your Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Refresh, and they will be great allies on your adventure.<\/p>\n
The Nintendo 3DS downloadable software Pok\u00e9mon Bank, an application that enables players to put Pok\u00e9mon they\u2019ve been on past adventures with into internet-based storage boxes, will be receiving an update in January 2017. This update will give the Pok\u00e9mon Bank application compatibility with Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon and include a new National Pok\u00e9dex feature. The Pok\u00e9dex feature reads saved data from any compatible titles you connect to Pok\u00e9mon Bank and collects information about all the Pok\u00e9mon you have caught. You can then check out all of this information in the Pok\u00e9mon Bank application and even see Pok\u00e9mon that don\u2019t natively appear in the Alola region. Pok\u00e9 Transporter will also be updated to make the Virtual Console versions of Pok\u00e9mon Red, Pok\u00e9mon Blue and Pok\u00e9mon Yellow compatible with Pok\u00e9mon Bank. This means that Pok\u00e9mon that players have caught in the VC-original Kanto games will be able to be transferred across into Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
